Although Seebohm, understandably, didn’t want to go into detail about the mechanics of their breakup, it’s widely understood the couple broke up after Seebohm found text messages from another woman on 25-year-old Larkin’s phone.

Days later, she had to stand next to him during Brisbane’s ICON fashion show, where the pair were photographed in public together for the last time.

The backstroke, freestyle, butterfly and individual medley swimmer also spoke of having to ‘go to work’ with him earlier this month at the PanPacs in Tokyo, telling the publication she hadn’t seen Larkin since their split and that competing alongside him was “pretty hard and intense”.

“I would like to take this opportunity before more speculation and rumours are spread. Due to current events that have occurred, Mitch Larkin and I have decided to end our relationship and go our seperate ways,” she wrote.

“As always I appreciate your support and ask for your understanding and privacy on this matter.”

In the days that followed speculation grew that Larkin had cheated on Seebohm –The Daily Telegraph reported unconfirmed rumours he had an affair “with another swimmer outside the Australian swim team”.

The following week, Seebohm posted another veiled message to Twitter. “I’m over the drama you created,” she wrote. “Now you can deal with what comes next.” The tweet, largely interpreted by fans to refer to Larkin, has since been deleted.

Seebohm deleted all images of Larkin from her social media accounts.

Larkin is yet to comment on the break up, with his Instagram feed still featuring several photos of Seebohm.
